10.8.1. OldProfile Class

The following derived profiler simulates the old style profiler, providing errant results on recursive functions. The reason for the usefulness of this profiler is that it runs faster (i.e., less overhead) than the old profiler. It still creates all the caller stats, and is quite useful when there is no recursion in the user's code. It is also a lot more accurate than the old profiler, as it does not charge all its overhead time to the user's code.
